One size does not fit all in project management. To achieve success it is crucial to choose the most appropriate approach for the size and complexity of the project. Over-managing a small project can bog it down with bureaucracy, while taking a laid-back view on a complex project can lead to disaster.
Pragmatic Project Management: Five Steps to Scalable Success helps you to select the methodologies and tools that will enable you to achieve maximum gain on your project while expending minimum effort. This clearly written guide lays the groundwork by explaining project sizing and management scaling before taking you through the five essential elements of pragmatic project management:
- The project charter
- The project team
- The project plan
- Project issue management
- Project status tracking and reporting
Designed to follow the process of planning and managing your project, each chapter ends with checklists and practical tips to help you track your progress and apply your knowledge.
